Fathom Architects | Blackfriars Road
Almshouse
Fathom Architects are working with Southwark Charities to create a highly sustainable mixed use development in Blackfriars, comprising 62 contemporary almshouses for local elderly residents in need and 22,500sqm of flexible workspace, supported by community uses and public landscaped gardens.
On Blackfriars Road, a 21-storey office building mediates between traditional brick warehouses and more recent glass towers towards the River Thames, offering high quality workspace of which 10% will be affordable.
The almshouse building, facing Nicholson Street, creates a vertical community where local elderly people facing hardship can live independently and affordably – see more here.
Community spaces at the base of the buildings open onto a new public garden designed in collaboration with MRG Studio, creating 950 sqm of landscaped outdoor space to encourage interaction between residents, office workers and their neighbours.
